Nice visuals and that motion capture is so convincing.

So, I posted the trailer on my Facebook, and a friend who lived in Detroit for several years just replied with this....
'Detroit? Lots of drive by's, wanna be ghetto Lebanese and Kurdish boys having sheesha, Iraqi and Irani cellphone shop owners in their pimped out Hummers, desis going to mosques and trying to get into Canada, shitty traffic on I75 and dicks from Wayne State getting busted working illegally.'
I don't even know what to say to this.

I really doubt Cage has it in him to pull off Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep with any nuance.
When it shows actual in game environments they don't look a world away from Beyond, which was already a very good looking game.
Certainly doesn't look quite as jaw dropping as their wizard tech demo but then it was never going to.

Did you even bother to watch the trailer?
You ask them if they're trying to get work as a comedian. If they say no you defriend them.
It's easy.

It sure looks good but it's a David Cage so is hard to get excited.

Looks solid, though a part of me was bummed this was sci-fi. David Cage doing a gritty urban drama is a perspective I really want to see.

Awkward forced romances complete with sex QTEs, overbearing music desperately trying to manipulate you into feeling emotions, poor performances, jarringly gamey sequences in what is supposed to be a dramatic emotional narrative (that ridiculous supermarket chase in Heavy Rain), his very odd interpretation of America, one dimensional caricatures (that junk yard owner black guy in heavy rain was damn near racist, literal mad doctor with a butcher basement who laughs like "mwahahaha" because I don't fucking know. David Cage wanted a mad doctor in there with no relation to the plot?), and poor attempts at red herrings.
I like Heavy Rain as a game, but as a narrative it is very painful to sit through sometimes.
I'm so glad that Quantic Dream decided on using Kara after all. That was such a compelling tech demo those years ago, and I had hoped to high heaven that we'd see more. Now we do!
I've loved all of David Cage's games I've played (I didn't get to play Beyond: Two Souls, though), so I'm super excited for this. Looks very intriguing.

Can't wait to fail all of the QTEs on purpose.

This theme has been done so many times, I doubt Cage will have anything significant to bring to the table but we'll see. It sure is pretty though.

That's...accurate.
I like the part where she takes over the black doctors body, uses him to get a bar where she thinks a party is happening only to end up killing three people.
Of course the black doctor is totally fine with her making him an accomplice to murder and helps her out later on without question.
Let's not forget the genuis decision by the military to put one of the only people who can commune and interact with spirits out into the field to do things any other trained special operative could accomplish.

It's funny how David Cage games attract so many people who do not like David Cage games but can't stop talking about them any time they are announced/mentioned! It's about time most accept he isn't going to create anything else and move on.
Anyway, sign me up. Prefer adventure games to shooters and what not.

I'm sure that will be the latest excuse for why yet another game setting has nothing but white people. It might actually turn out to be a good thing if the game is as white as the trailer cause I'd hate to hear the type dialogue that David Cage would write for a black character.
Sounds like a video game to me. Doesn't seem worse than most video game narratives we've been getting.
Yeah, it's fucking hilarious. Lots of frustrated people around here.

It's almost as if people shouldn't write about a place they know nothing about. Write What You Know.
I genuinely wonder what France, as told by Cage, is like. Probably a unique perspective, he could put some personal heart in.
It baffles me why he insist on the US as told by a Frenchman, it's inherently false.
As a Metro Detroit native, I got an absolute kick out of this.
Would've been a better title.
I'm aware that Detroit is a primarily black race city, but take note how I said "trailer" and not game. Just because the black race wasn't featured in the trailer, it doesn't mean there won't be any black people in the game. You lot are just nitpicking now and besides, it's the future, racism is on the rise in most of the world and it could be a case where black people were drove out of Detroit. We don't know the full story yet so let's just leave it at that.

This was the biggest and happiest surprise of the show for me (well, it was sort of the only real surprise). Who knows how it will turn out, but I loved the original Kara demo and hoped they would eventually turn it into a full game. Didn't really believe it would happen (since they don't normally do that), but here we are! Very glad to see this story explored further.
Yes, but that 80% is not distributed evenly throughout the city [much like the money].

Looks good. The premise is interesting. Wish they gave us a release window. Late 2016/2017 at best? Reminds me a little bit of Studio Rikka's Time of Eve, the movie I, Robot, among others.

French writer writing and directing a game in an American setting.
I think if he actually did it, it would be incredibly terrible and would end his career.

Insane For Sony
This is clearly showing a detroit after it's been turned back into a metropolis that it once was, thanks to its android industry. I guess part of the premise is that'd reverse all the white flight that happened to it.
As far as I can see, looking at the trailer, when they show actual people (not androids) usually about half of them seems black.

Really wonder how this will turn out. Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls were pretty fun so hopefully they can find a twist or two to bring to this. Hope it'll be good though.

Mine's from my own near-lossless capture. Quality!
Hope Gamersyde put all these trailers up.

Is that Miley Cyrus.
You mean the black doctor that treated her like a daughter?
And also don't forget that those mission were successful because of Aiden. For the military she was a just a tool. One that they intended to dispose of.

Amazing trailer but I wonder what will the gameplay be like?

The same as the past Cage titles, free roam with QTE elements/decide your choice button prompts. Even the trailer mentioned something along the lines of saving the world or making another choice.
*Kara Tech Demo gets shown for the first time*
"Ooooh boy! I hope their next game is about that girl robot finding her place in the world!"
*Beyond gets released instead*
"Aaah crap. I wanted to see Kara's story...
"
*Detroit gets announced, as the story of Kara*
"Oooh yeah, how original, David Cage! This concept has been done to death! You can't possibly pull this off. Robocop did it first!"

Quantic Dream's game director, co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière has begun hiring screenwriters, film directors, and other Hollywood talent to guide Cage on his PlayStation 4 title -- a first for the developer.
"David has so many ideas that Quantic Dream doesnt have enough resources to put all of these ideas into games," Fondaumière said. "He has grand ideas and concepts. Our job is to turn these ideas into projects. So we are trying to attract talent."
This process has already shown "very positive signs" through Quantic Dream's untitled PlayStation 4 game which is being written by a team of three people, including Cage.

Honestly, the real answer is they had an idea of what a future metropolis should look like for the kind of story they wanted to tell and decided to call it Detroit to borrow American industrial relevance. I'd be very surprised if this game has anything relevant to say about Detroit, past, present, or future.
Basically it wants to be Shinola, only with androids.
